Description
Wetland assault stormtroopers, nicknamed swamptroopers, were specialized stormtroopers trained and equipped to operate in forested wetlands and other semi-aquatic environments, such as lakes, rivers, and settlements built on or near waterways. Their armor was tinted green for camouflage.
I´m okay with regular stormies in the swamps, but this seemed like a opportunity for a change.

Will you be able to include a Scout Trooper armor model into the squads? Either way, nice work Nkorn.
I don't see why he would. These are just regular stormtroopers. As far as I know the Empire didn't issue the scouts different armor for forested/swampy terrain.
Thanks Aeryion, they aren´t perfect but I´m glad you like them.
As Bucman said, these are just regular stormtroopers in a swamp terrain. The scout trooper didn´t had a different armor for those type of environment. But in the Swamptrooper page in Wookiepedia there is a photo of a swamptrooper using scout trooper armor with camo.

Allow me to expand, the image linked is based on the swamptrooper from Star Wars Galaxies (the image comes from a Star Wars Galaxies trading card). Swamptroopers from Star Wars Galaxies wore scout trooper armor just coloured green. It was probably just because they didn't want to model the swamptrooper armor, but in a way it makes more sense from a logistical standpoint.
But so then, that image is a Scout trooper prepared for swamp environment?
